And since, falling, he was openly exposed, none may flatter himself that the cause of Christ is bound up with his reputation, that the mischief must needs be averted which his downfall would entail, that Providence must needs avert from him the natural penalties for evil-doing. Though one was as the signet upon the Lord's hand, yet was he plucked thence. There is no security for any soul except where love and trust repose, upon the bosom of Christ. Now if this be true, and if sin and scandal may conceivably penetrate even the inmost circle of the chosen, how great an error it is to break, because of these offenses, the unity of the Church, and institute some new communion, purer far than the Churches of Corinth and Galatia, which were not abandoned but reformed, and more impenetrable to corruption than the little group of those who ate and drank with Jesus.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26256]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of.

It's like riding a bicycle or swimming: You learn by doing.   .. Luis Palau  March 14, 2001   Most evangelicals believe that if a passage of the Bible seems unclear in its meaning, it should be interpreted in the light of Scripture "as a whole". But what does "Scripture as a whole" mean? In practice, if not theory, it means the working systematic theology of the interpreter, or of his own theological tradition. An evangelical... would not hold to that tradition unless he believed that it did represent the wholeness of the biblical witness. Nevertheless, if this state of affairs has been correctly described, he is now in a serious difficulty. For if the Bible must always accord with a theology that has already been accepted, how can the truth of a biblical passage ever confront him afresh with an unfavorable judgment?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good nature without prudence, is foolishness ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51946]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good nature without prudence, is foolishness]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51946</guid></item></channel></rss>
